Escorts Library/Bookshelf
« on: 18 June 2011, 02:35:29 pm »
Hi

Are there any books you would recommend as interesting or just funny relating to escorting/sexual biographies by women/erotic literature etc

Mine are:
Eleven Minutes - Paulo Coehlo
(I love him as an author and the book shows a rather difficult side of escorting/trafficing but I think is beautiful nonetheless).

The Sexual Life of Catherine M - Catherine Millet
(True memoirs of a Parisian art critic who has a rather liberated sex life).

The Story of O - Pauline Reage 
(an absoulte classic, reading it at 17 may have had something to do with my rather unorthodox approach to sex!).

There are loads I still want to read, and found a load of Anais Nin and Henry Miller on a pavement which I cant wait to get into.

Pat Califia's Macho Sluts. Quite expensive tho, about ?30 in shops.
Great writing, quite, erm, strong stories!? I mean very graphic.
Mostly S&M, lesbian stuff. I have got some excellent ideas from there haha!

So one of the threads here people mention a book Sex Tips for the Straight Woman by a Gay Man and it got me to thinking are there any books that girls would recommend to escorts who wish to educate themselves on aspects of escorting?

I've merged this in with another thread, since it's been discussed before (and can we please not post links, since having to remove them is destroying my will to live :D). I'm pretty sure there's another one somewhere, and I'll add it if I find it.

Personally I would be bored to death reading stuff like this and will be sticking to Irvine Welsh, but more importantly I don't think there's any such thing as an instruction manual since people are all so different. Everyone's experience of prostitution is unique, which is why being able to get lots of different viewpoints is so important :).

Thanks I did a search but for the life of me couldn't find it! I just see it like buying cookery books. I never do really use the recepes but use them for inspiration for my own  ;D

I don't think the '..by a gay man' one is nearly as good as the '.. for men by a lesbian' one it's trying to copy.

For very interesting ways to give hand jobs (and to a lesser extent blow jobs) see Lou Paget's 'How to be a great lover'.
'The Ian formerly known as SW5'. What they said: "Indispensable", "You are our best resource", and (hours later!) "I'm afraid that you're being made redundant..."

'in good company - the escorts guide' by kay good.

in my opinion its the definitive practical guide.

I really enjoyed reading the Nana by Emile Zola and the Eleven minutes by Coelho. real classics.

also enjoyed reading Hamis gyonyor: egy luxusprostitualt vallomasai by Vivien Szalai. very easy to read. this book has a sequel, Draga kej. the first book is the best, the sequel not so much but still ok. I dont know if there is an English edition for the books :(

Brilliant book (apparently a true story) Call Me Elizabeth. Couldn't put it down. She talks of her time escorting whilst hiding it from her husband & friends. A friend of her husbands .......I won't spoil it!!!!
